| Summary: A coronal mass ejection (CME) swept past Earth on Nov. 20th and sparked bright auroras as far south as Florida in the United States and Greece in Europe. The source of the CME was sunspot 484--one of the trio of active regions that caused intense geomagnetic storms last month. See, e.g., the October 2003 aurora gallery. Page

The aurora activity intensified just after midnight on November 20 and continued into the early morning hours of November 21. The display was mostly green in colour and static in nature with very little motion. Photo details: Nikon D100 digital camera, ISO 320, 20 second exposures. |

These were taken just west of Denver, one on I70. This is the first time I have seen such bright green and red together. |

This must be the most awesome display of aurora I ever saw.
The colors were really incredible - I have never seen so many different colors at the same time.
Nikon D100, ISO 400. Lenses: 16mm/2.8 fisheye, 15mm/3.5 and zoom 20-35mm/2.8. In the foreground of these pictures is a frozen lake
at the southwestern tip of the large eastbound taiga forest, which passes through many countries. |

High clouds were just clearing off enough to get this photo. NASA POES satellite was registering 9 out of 10. Photo taken with Nikon D100, ISO 1600, 10 seconds, f3.5, 28mm lens. |

I had been watching all evening and finally decided to drive a few miles north of town, away from the lights. I was rewarded with this view. |
